BrickHeadz Series One Overview

I finished reviews on all twelve of the BrickHeadz included in series one. Although the BrickHeadz are numbered from 1 - 12 they aren't actually the first twelve BrickHeadz released. LEGO released several BrickHeadz at various Comic Con events in late 2016 while Series One came out in March and April of 2018.

Unfortunately, all these BrickHeadz were retired in September 2018. Like most retired LEGO sets the prices have gone up now that they are retired. I have had a lot of luck with Barnes & Noble they tend to have some older sets still available at retail prices.

I did an overview video if you would like to get a look at the entire series.



Links to Series One Brickheads:
1 - Batman
2 - Batgirl
3 - Robin
4 - The Joker
5 - Captain America
6 - Iron Man
7 - Black Widow
8 - The Hulk
9 - Captain Jack Sparrow

11 - Belle
12 - Beast

LEGO BrickHeadz Beast

This is the second of two BrickHeadz based on Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

This is set 41596 was released in March 2017 and marked as retired on LEGO.com in September 2018. The set cost about $10 when released and contains 116 pieces.

Beast is dressed up for his dance with Belle and the build for his coat is well done. To me the best part of the figure is all the character on his face. There are so many details captured with a lot of 1X1 pieces.

Starting from the top there are 1X1 with tooth used as ears. The horns and eyebrows are done with cheese wedge pieces. There are also white 1/4 round pieces to represent his tusks. Finally some additional cheese wedges are used to create his beard under his chin.

Overall a good figure that stays true to the colors and look of Beast from the movie. There are a lot of nice little details that make the figure special. You can see my full video review below:

LEGO BrickHeadz Belle

This is the first of two BrickHeads based on Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

Belle was released in March 2017 and marked as retired on LEGO.com in September 2018. The set cost about $10 when released and contains 139 pieces.

Belle is different from other BrickHeadz I have built, she doesn't have any feet. The ball gown that she is wearing is full length and has printed pieces all the way around the base.

The build for her dress is great with the prints on the bottom and the large builds on the shoulders. The 1X4 brick in the center is printed edge to edge so blends in perfectly with the build for the shoulder straps.

Her hair build is also very nice. Two features that stand out right away are the bun on the top of her head, complete with a yellow ribbon, and the pony tail. The pony tail build reminds me of the Batgirl BrickHead and looks just as good on this one.

The vibrant colors and build techniques make this BrickHead look great and it really matches the character well. You can view my full video review below:

LEGO BrickHeadz Captain Armando Salazar

This is the second of two BrickHeadz created based on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.This is Captain Salazar the main villain from the movie.

This is set number 41594 was released in April 2017 and marked as retired on LEGO.com in September 2018. The set contains 118 pieces and cost about $10 when released.

The black and white color scheme with some silver highlighting is perfect for Salazar. The hair build is great it almost looks like it is blowing in a breeze.

One of the best things about this figure is the big hole in the back of his head. It not only reflects the fact that he is a decaying ghost but it shows off his transparent green brain.

I really like this figure and it is a great complement to the Jack Sparrow BrickHead. You can check out my full video review below:

LEGO BrickHeadz Captain Jack Sparrow

This is one of two BrickHeadz created from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. This is of course the iconic Captain Jack Sparrow.

This is set number 41593 was released in April 2017 and marked as retired on LEGO.com in September 2017 along with all the other Series One BrickHeadz. The set cost about $10 when released and contains 109 pieces.

There is really good use of printed pieces for the belt, sash and shirt. His goatee is made up of both a printed 1X4 tile and a 1X2 angular plate. You can just make out the studs sticking out under his chin if you look closely.

Although simple, the hair build is representative of the tangled mess of Jack's hair. It looks pulled back tight on the front but kind of wild on the sides and back. They also captured the beads he wears on the side of the bandanna and a earring or bead on his right.

As a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise I was really happy to see a couple BrickHeadz created. I think this is a good representation of Captain Jack Sparrow and a fine addition to any BrickHeadz collection.

LEGO BrickHeadz The Hulk

The Hulk BrickHead is based on Avengers: Age of Ultron but fits in with the three BrickHeadz that were based on Captain America Civil War. In-fact all four of the BrickHeadz appear on the back of each box.

This set was released in March 2017 and marked as retired on LEGO's website in September 2018. It is set 41592, cost $10 when released and contains 93 pieces.

When I look at this BrickHead I see the bulked up arms that really don't fit with the figure. I think the entire BrickHead should have been bulked up a bit, this is the Hulk after all.

There are some good things about the BrickHead. The purple pants are a great nod to the comics and the hair build is really spot on.

Overall, a good companion to the other Marvel BrickHeadz that were released as part of Series One. Probably my least favorite of the four though.

LEGO BrickHeadz Black Widow.

This is the third of three BrickHeadz based on Marvel Captain America Civil War. This set was released in March 2017 and marked as retired on LEGO.com in September 2018.

This is set 41591, cost about $10 when released and contains 143 pieces. This is quite a few more than the others made for the movie. The extra pieces are used in her magnificent hair build. As well as some extra detailing on her legs.


This is my favorite BrickHead from Civil War. All of the extra builds from the tiles on her legs, the tile belt buckle and the hair build are great touches. Captain America and Iron Man don't have near the detail that is found in this figure.

LEGO BrickHeadz Iron Man

Review of LEGO BrickHeadz Iron Man. This is the second of three BrickHeadz based on Marvel Captain America Civil War. The set was released in March 2017 and marked as retired on LEGO.com in September 2018.

There have been three different Iron Man BrickHeadz produced. The first was released as an exclusive set with Captain America for San Diego Comic-Con 2016. Another Iron Man in the Mark 50 armor was released based on Avengers: Infinity War.

This is set 41590 cost about $10 when released and contains 96 pieces. It has several printed pieces including two tiles on the body and a slope on the forehead. The eyes are also printed light blue translucent pieces.

There is also some detailing on the legs which is a departure from the normal simple leg build with 1X2 plate pieces. A headlight piece and 1X1 tile are used to add some texture.

I like the coloring on this version of Iron Man the darker yellow looks much closer to the gold color used in the movies. The other versions use a much brighter yellow that doesn't look quite right to me.

Overall a nice BrickHead, once again the prints are really well done and the overall look of the figure is great. You can check out my full video review below:

LEGO BrickHeadz Captain America

LEGO BrickHeadz Captain America is one of three BrickHeadz based on the movie Marvel Captain America Civil War. It was released in March 2017 and was marked as retired on LEGO.com in September 2018.

This is set 41589 cost about $10 when released and contains 79 pieces. Since Captain America is wearing a helmet it doesn't have a very detailed head in this case. There are more printed pieces than usual though. Including two prints for his uniform, a shield and a tile for the top of his helmet.

There are two places to put his shield. The right hand uses a 1X2 plate with a clip in front to hold the shield in the right position. There is also a clip in the back allowing you to keep the shield attached to his back if you want.

There is some additional detailing on the sides using some tan tiles to represent the chinstrap. It is a subtle difference but adds some good detail to the figure.

Overall this is a solid BrickHead, nothing fancy but I do like the prints for his uniform and the shield. The shield looks a bit small, since it is minifig scale but it still works well with the figure.

Review of LEGO BrickHeadz The Joker

LEGO BrickHeadz The Joker is the fourth of four BrickHeadz that were based on the LEGO Batman Movie. The Joker was released in March 2017 and marked as a retired product on shop.lego.com in September 2018.

This is set 41588, cost about $10 when released and has 151 pieces. This BrickHead is all about the hair! It has about 50 more pieces that the other BrickHeadz from the Batman Movie. In fact the BrickHead is easy to tip backwards due to the giant hair build.

There are some great prints for his tie and vest along with a mouth print, which is unusual for BrickHeadz. The colors are really bright and are true to the character.

The hair is built from several slopes, cheese wedges and plates all in green. It has a big slope in the front and sweeps up and out in the back extending over two bricks of thickness behind the figure.

I like all of the BrickHeadz from the LEGO Batman Movie but this one is my favorite. You can view my complete video review below.

Review of LEGO BrickHeadz Robin

LEGO BrickHeadz Robin is the third of four BrickHeadz that were made for the LEGO Batman Movie. This is set 41587 and was released in March 2017, cost about $10 and has 101 pieces.

The red, yellow and green costume is quite traditional for Robin, but LEGO put their own spin on this classic costume. The costume in the movie came from the Reggae Bat suit that Dick Grayson found and quickly removed the pants. The shorts are represented by some tan plates used on the legs.

The print on this BrickHead is very good and looks a lot like the robin minifig from the movie. The goggles are an interesting build using lifebouy pieces but don't really look like the goggles on the minifig.

The cape is different from the Batman and Batgirl BrickHeads with no scalloping along the bottom. They do use some curved pieces along the top of the cape which makes the transition between the cape and head a pit smoother.

This is another solid figure from BrickHeadz. You can watch my full video review below.

Review of LEGO BrickHeadz Batgirl

LEGO BrickHeadz Batgirl is the second of four BrickHeadz that were released from the LEGO Batman Movie.This set was released in March 2017 and was marked as retired on LEGO.com in September 2018.

This is set number 41586, contains 99 pieces and cost $9.99 when it was released. Like most BrickHeadz it was easy to put together and is an excellent display piece. The purple and yellow color scheme makes this a really good looking figure.

One of the great elements that make this BrickHead special is the red pony tail that is built of dark red pieces. It looks good against the purple of the cowl and really adds a lot of personality to the figure.

Her yellow cape is similar to the build for the Batman BrickHead with sloped plates and cheese wedge pieces used to create the scalloping along the bottom.

Another solid contribution to the BrickHeadz line. You can view my full video review below:

Review of LEGO BrickHeadz Batman

LEGO BrickHeadz Batman, although not the first BrickHeadz figure every released is labeled as number one. This BrickHead was released in March 2017 and marked as retired on the LEGO.com in September 2018.

This is set number 41585 and contains 91 pieces. It is quick and easy to build taking 15 - 20 minutes to put together. The figure is made of mostly black pieces, has three printed pieces and glow in the dark eyes.

The detailing on the printed utility belt is great and there are yellow plates used around the waist to make the belt look like it goes all the way around the entire figure

The ears at the top of the cowl are also quite nice. They are built with a 2x2 modified tile with rail which gives them a bit of texture .

Overall a really nice BrickHead one you will be happy to put on display if you can get one for a reasonable price.
